Common misconception
The sounds [r] and [rr] are pronounced the same.
The single [r] sound is pronounced as in the words 'pero', 'abrir', 'Francia'. The double [rr] sound is pronounced as in the words 'perro', 'correr', 'correo'.
Ensure children have adequate opportunity to explore the sounds [r] and [rr] so they an hear and produce the difference. A short research task to explore words containing [r] and [rr] could be used as a paired task and lists created to practise pronunciation.
